bush in 2004. for a very simple reason. it is kennedy who made possible the passage of george w. bush's signature domestic achievement, no child left behind and the prescription drug law. i really don't care what you think of either of those laws. what we do know is president bush was able to run in 2004 not only as the leader of the war on terrorism but also a republican who could in fact work with democrats to pass what was described as significant domestic legislation that addresses problems with education and medical care. mitch mcconnell, leader of the senate republican party, has told us repeatedly that his primary priority was defeating barack obama in 2012. it is readily understandable why he does not wish to emulate senator kennedy and thus enable obama's reelection. one could easily say newt gingrich made a mighty contribution to reelecting bill clinton. in 1996 by giving him a welfare bill that he was surprised to discover that clinton would sign. it may be the weakness of the candidacy would have doomed to regardless but in many ways the election was over. that kenned
